Humidity is the brother of North Korea

I really have to thank God that i'm in CEA these days during work. Btw, CEA stands for 'Controlled Environment Area', where i'm constantly exposed to a 22 - 23 degrees temperature and a relative humidity (RH) of about 40-50%. Initially that didnt seem very significant but lately, it really is.

With Singapore's temperature reaching a high of about 33.6 degrees (think is last month) and a RH of about 75%, you can imagine how glad i was to be in the CEA. It's not so much of the direct heat actually, but the humidity. Humidity is the reason why at night, even after bathing for half and hour, and lying down on the bed with the fan blasted up to high, you can still feel sticky.

The Chinese always says: 心静自然凉, but in a place where humidity rises up to 75% with a temperature of 30 and above, and if you try your very best to 心静 - which is to sit there and dont do anything, well melting is another option they didnt consider.

arh but enough of ranting. Grace has just taken off to australia which is struggling to keep up with a 14 degree temperature. i just have to wait for another 2 more weeks. But i'm not too sure if going off from a very hot place into a very cold place is actually a good idea. rapid expanding and contraction causes unnecessary stress which may cause ppl to.. you know.. crack.

North Korea.
